A novel method is presented, demonstrating the facile generation of α‐acyloxy carboxamide radicals via photoredox catalysis of Passerini adducts, obtained employing a 4‐formyl‐1,4‐dihydropyridine. These radicals efficiently undergo Giese reactions with various olefins, yielding novel Passerini compounds unattainable through traditional aldehyde‐based ...

Reaction of cis-3-Chloroacrylic Acid Dehalogenase with an Allene Substrate, 2,3-Butadienoate: Hydration via an Enamine [PDF]
cis-3-Chloroacrylic acid dehalogenase (cis-CaaD) catalyzes the hydrolytic dehalogenation of cis-3-haloacrylates to yield malonate semialdehyde. The enzyme processes other substrates including an allene (2,3-butadienoate) to produce acetoacetate.
